[Solved] Lightbox Display, Not Working - Blogger

The Blogger has its own built-in light box tool for displaying multiple pictures within blog posts, but you can also use a third-party light box tool. Many bloggers have reported that their blogger blogs, which are set to display images using the Blogger Lightbox image feature, are not displaying images correctly.
If you are also facing problems with the built-in lightbox, do some basic troubleshooting to attempt to resolve the issue. They reported that full size images are now being displayed in a normal browser window, with the browser back arrow required to return to the blog post, they can not use "X" buttonwhich closes the overlay. In this short tutorial I will tell you how to solve the Lightbox display problem in your blogger blog.

Update*: Now, the blogger lightbox issue finally fixed by blogger team and it is working fine now!!! So you may take down the lightbox code mentioned in this post.

I am suggested to add a brief snippet of code to the blogger template. Follow the given below steps:

I have used the Lightbox fix script for my blog, It took me less then 10 seconds to make the change in the HTML and the Lightbox is working perfect now.Just a quick question can there be any issue of any kind since I am adding a third party script src: "src='https://blogsdaddy.googlecode.com" and usually I am not in favor of adding third party scripts to my blogs HTML ?

I really appreciate you sharing this fix there are many people out there who are very grateful for the help with fixing this error.

I am running two websites for which lightbox is already enabled but since lightbox was not working properly for quite a few days, images were showing in full size.

I tried your script but it didn't work. And even though, as you have mentioned in your last comment, Google has fixed the issue, images are still not showing up in an overlay What could be the possible workarounds?

I have tried and removed the aforementioned code, but i still can't see the lighbox overlay. I can see that it is working on your blog, but not on mine. If you can just take a look at my websites, and suggest me something, it would be really helpful of you.

Thanks for your reply. I am actually using a third party template just like you have. The interesting thing is that initially when i started my blogs the lightbox was working, but then i made a couple of changes to add some widgets and theme specific customization and now the lightbox does not seem to work. The problem is that i really don't know if any of the scripts is conflicting with the default lightbox from Google, or it is actually not working.

Have a look at my blogs - i have enabled lightbox from the settings. Hope you can find something.

I have the same problem as the last enquirer above. The lightbox doesn't appear properly on my latest post, but it appears on the previous posts. I just tried the code you provided above, but nothing had changed. Here is my blog. Pls take a look and maybe give me some clues to revise this problem. Thanks for your attention.
